Mintek seeks proposals for an ultrasonic spray coater system to enhance the fabrication of membrane electrode assemblies for fuel cell research. The successful bidder will provide a comprehensive solution including training and post-warranty support.
Mintek is inviting qualified suppliers to submit proposals for the procurement of an ultrasonic spray coater system. This system is crucial for the Advanced Materials Division (AMD) to ensure the reliable fabrication of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) used in fuel cell research. The current equipment, which is over 15 years old, frequently breaks down, causing delays in critical catalyst evaluations. The new ultrasonic spray coater must be compatible with existing methods and data, ensuring continuity and preserving data integrity.
Key requirements include an ultrasonic nozzle-less spray head, precision liquid delivery systems, and advanced motion control capabilities. Bidders must also provide comprehensive training for Mintek personnel and commit to service, repairs, and technical support for a minimum of five years post-warranty. This procurement aims to enhance research capabilities, support advancements in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, and contribute to South Africa's energy solutions.
This tender is suitable for businesses specializing in advanced manufacturing technologies, particularly those with experience in supplying precision coating equipment and providing technical support in research environments.
